Interaction matrix element fluctuations in quantum dots
L. Kaplan
In the Coulomb blockade regime of a ballistic quantum dot, the distribution of conductance peak spacings is well known to be incorrectly predicted by a single-particle picture; ins…
Correlated Phenotypic Transitions to Competence in Bacterial Colonies
Inbal Hecht, Eshel Ben-Jacob, Herbert Levine
Genetic competence is a phenotypic state of a bacterial cell in which it is capable of importing DNA, presumably to hasten its exploration of alternate genes in its quest for survi…
Mechanical control of the directional stepping dynamics of the kinesin motor
Changbong Hyeon, José N. Onuchic
Among the multiple steps constituting the kinesin's mechanochemical cycle, one of the most interesting events is observed when kinesins move an 8-nm step from one microtubule (MT)-…
TASI Lectures on the Cosmological Constant
Raphael Bousso
The energy density of the vacuum, Lambda, is at least 60 orders of magnitude smaller than several known contributions to it. Approaches to this problem are tightly constrained by d…
Excited state quantum phase transitions in many-body systems
M. A. Caprio, P. Cejnar, F. Iachello
Phenomena analogous to ground state quantum phase transitions have recently been noted to occur among states throughout the excitation spectra of certain many-body models. These ex…
Calcium and synaptic dynamics underlying reverberatory activity in neuronal networks
Vladislav Volman, Richard Gerkin, Pak-Ming Lau +2
Persistent activity is postulated to drive neural network plasticity and learning. To investigate its underlying cellular mechanisms, we developed a biophysically tractable model t…
